Uniparty Steals More of YOUR MONEY in passage of Spending Bill that INCREASES SPENDING by $30 Billion over Nancy Pelosi's spending - with $12.7 BILLION in "Earmarks" which are GIFTS TO DONORS - DESPITE $34 TRILLION DEBT and soaring Inflation due to GOVERNMENT SPENDING!!!

The House on Wednesday passed a $460 billion spending package that will fund six agencies of government, relying Democratic support to make up for the majority of Republicans who opposed it.
The bill passed 339-85, with 132 Republicans voting yes, 83 voting no, and all but two Democrats voting for it.
The package brought together funding for Agriculture, Commerce-Justice-Science, Energy-Water, Interior-Environment, Military Construction-VA and Transportation and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under one vote.
Conservatives have been insisting that Congress pass funding for each agency of government individually but that looked untenable under deeply divided government.
The spending package did not include the new border security restrictions that conservatives had wanted.
The 1,000+ page spending plan for the first six agencies of government, which have a funding deadline of Friday, was released Sunday and members of the House's Freedom Caucus and like-minded senators decried the $12 billion and 605 pages of earmarks in the bill.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote on X that the bill 'is littered with earmarks, fails to secure the border, & punts almost every GOP policy win - thus, will fund most of Biden’s lawlessness & tyranny.'
Speaker Mike Johnson has touted 'deep cuts' to the EPA (10%), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) (7%) and FBI (6%), which Johnson says has 'threatened our freedoms and our economy.'
House Passes Spending Package To Keep the Government Open With $13 Billion in Earmarks
Congressman Ralph Norman takes aim at the new six bipartisan appropriation bills unveiled by Congressional leaders Sunday calling them, “an embarrassment for the American people.”
Rep. Norman says his main issue with the spending bills is the lack of funding to stop the border crisis, and remarks that “crony capitalism” is taking over America, that corporate America has enlisted lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to “do their bidding for them” on Capitol Hill.
“Every dollar that’s spent in Washington D.C. has got an advocate. It’s up to us to say ‘no.’ The county cannot afford, particularly with the insane things that they’re spending it on, we cannot afford this anymore,” says Rep. Norman.
The House and Senate have released a 1,050 page spending package. Yet because there are long lists of pork projects and niche special interest carve-outs, there's another 1,281 pages of "explanatory statements".
